Dr. Yassin Naaman on Sana'a and Aden split
The report by the Yemeni ambassador to the United Kingdom exposes how the Houthis have dismantled the country's main national institutions, leading to the destruction of the economy and essential services. They drained the Central Bank of Yemen's foreign reserves, which were estimated at around $5 billion by the end of 2014, adversely impacting the financial sector and banking industries. They also altered the educational curriculum, resulting in a gap in national identity and the destruction of a unified educational system. The Houthis took control of the telecommunications sector, imposing censorship and restrictions on the internet, using its revenue to finance their wars, which has led to fragmentation within the sector's management. In civil aviation, they seized control of Sana'a Airport and halted international flights, causing a widespread decline in air transport services and division within national institutions. The report highlights that these actions have destroyed the foundations of the Yemeni state, intensified the economic and social crisis, while the Houthis continue to justify their destructive actions by claiming a blockade.
